What are other possible reasons for a missed period besides pregnancy? |
I have not been sexually active and I'm wondering why my period did not come on this month,any answers? Missed periods, or amenorrhea as it's medically called, is common and perfectly natural in young girls who are in their first couple of years of menstruation. However, for older females, an absent period is not normal and the reasons behind it should be investigated. The main causes of a missed period are as follows: Stress: If you place yourself under significant stress, you can affect the area of the brain that produces the hormones required for properly functioning ovaries. Substantial weight loss can have a similar effect. Overactive Thyroid: An overactive thyroid gland can cause, amongst other things, absent or irregular periods. Pregnancy: This is perhaps the most well known cause of an absent period. If having missed a period, there is any possibility that you could be pregnant, you should probably take a pregnancy test immediately. Menopause: The menopause essentially means the end of mensuration and therefore the end of monthly periods. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: This condition results in large numbers of ovarian cysts which can cause absent or irregular periods. Stress, being underweight, some infections can do it. Also, some birth control medicines can have the same effect. are you stressed? have you gained weight? lost weight? lots of physical activity? do you have a lot of stress?? that could be the problem hormones go to the family doc and explain your problem she will do an ultra sound and a blood test to find out it depends on how old you are... and if you changed your diet, are under stress, has lost or gain lots of weight, had a change in enviroment.. lots of reasons Just go to the family doctor this is more common than you think.. Have you gained any weight? Many things, such as PCOS. I would suggest seeing your Gynecologist. My missed periods were the first symptom I had before being diagnosed with a pituitary tumor. I'm not trying to scare you, just make sure you go get it checked out! |
